----------------------------------------------------

Define the numbers

----------------------------------------------------

Let the first even number be x

1st even number = x

2nd even number = x + 2

3rd even number = x + 4

----------------------------------------------------

Form the equation and solve

----------------------------------------------------

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -6

3x + 6 = -6

3x = - 12

x = -4

----------------------------------------------------

Find the numbers

----------------------------------------------------

1st even number = x = -4

2nd even number = x + 2 = -4 + 2 = -2

3rd even number = x + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0

----------------------------------------------------

Answers: The numbers are -4, -2 and 0
